The President was cured by a cocktail of synthetic antibodies that knocked the virus to its knees before it could start reproducing and send him down the road to pneumonia or worse a ventilator. Then he was given a steroid to make sure his own immune system did not kick in later and attack his own body. Now he is doing rallies. They say there are vaccines that work now. The big tests are rolling and thousands of people are getting tested and some are getting sick. Scientists say there has to be more testing for Regeneron and the vaccines. I say let the people decide.
Regeneron would not have been given to a sitting President if it was not safe. Could you imagine the doctor who would give a President something that might make him sicker or worse cause him to die. No. They knew the drug would not harm him and there was a very good chance it could stop the virus. It did. And yes people are looking for the other shoe to drop. So what. He is not dying. He seems perfectly fine. Compare that to the over 200,000 people who have died. They would have taken regeneron in a heartbeat and they would take a vaccine as well.
We dont have the luxury to test as usual. We are heading into a long hard winter that could be brutal. We have the drugs. They know regeneron works and they know the vaccine works. Yes there will be some people who have bad reactions. But let the people decide. They say they only have 50,000 doses of regeneron. Thats fifty thousand people who could be treated. These are not normal times. These are dire times. The President is mortal like the rest of us. All mortals deserve the best chance to live. Let the people decide. Give people the drugs.
